About this house rental
This unique and contemporary property is part of an old Victorian School, centrally located extremely close to the wonderful Battersea Park. It is the perfect place from which to explore Chelsea and beyond, and enjoy downtime. With it’s striking mix of double height ceilings and windows, giving it a loft style feeling, unusual vintage pieces and eye-catching artworks, the living areas are comfortable, stylish and inviting. Its situated in a discreet location with a gated entry, there’s a full time porter during daylight hours. From the rear there’s a wonderful courtyard. This property is very well suited to those who require privacy.

There are two children’s rooms available with upper bunks (no handrails) which can accommodate two people. Babies are welcome too, there is a travel cot. Parking is available on request.

Battersea is a wonderful leafy area. All the joys of Battersea Park are right on the doorstep. There is the children’s zoo, tennis courts, boating on the lake, playgrounds, Go Ape tree top adventure and Putt in The Park (crazy golf) and two lovely cafes one by the lake and the other next to the crazy golf. The vibrant new development at Battersea Power Station also offers cafes, restaurants and shops. Although it is a lovely leafy neighbourhood, it is central, so the main sights of London are close by. There is also wonderful shopping only a 10 minute walk to the famous King's Road and Sloane Square in Chelsea. Knightsbridge and Harrods are close by. Notting Hill is a 15 minute taxi ride.

This is a large and beautiful property, just as the photos depict. There are a lot of stairs, so maybe not great for little ones or elderly but great for teens to have their own spaces. We had a few problems which I suspect were unusual ones, but the manager attended to them promptly. It is close to the bus, but not the train.

We really enjoyed our time at the converted school house in Battersea. Our family - grandparents to toddlers - stayed for a week. The space is magnificent with lots of light. There's a beautiful play room with cozy bunkbeds. It's across from the master bed which was very convenient for us.The property manager Anna was very accommodating (ensuring two cribs for our twins, sharing what grocery delivery options were, providing staples). The arrival was a little bumpy because we were delayed with sick kids. When I input the address into Google Maps and Uber, it took us to a DIFFERENT Victorian schoolhouse a mile away. Anna had to come in person to meet us to let us into the gated enclosure where the house is located. Tip -- use the post code, and not the full address -- and better yet, use the house # across the street from the gates.Anna was very responsive. For ex, we asked for daily housekeeping for an extra charge; when the housekeeper couldn't make it, Anna found someone wonderful ASAP instead.As noted in the reviews, it's a stunning home, great location, but has a lot of quirks. Just be ready for that. For ex, the radiator didn't work where our kids were sleeping so it was very cold. The next day, Anna helped to locate space heaters. Those things were pretty minor. The biggest thing to know is that during nights & weekends, the gated area is locked. You need a physical key to enter and to EXIT the enclosure so it required a lot if coordination among our group.

Great property and seamless check in. Easily fit 8 of us - the kitchen is amazing and a great gathering place for our group. Plenty of nice pubs and restaurants with a couple blocks. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our stay and Anna was an excellent host from a communication perspective. She was very easy to get in touch with and quick to respond.
The house is very grand. Every room is large with lots of space to spread out. The kitchen was is a perfect hub for large family meals - we had breakfast each morning before heading out.
I’d suggest this home is not suited for more than 2 couples. The bedroom with a double bed is really only adequate for a single adult or child.
The kids rooms are very cute but far from adults. Our 5 year old ended up sleeping with parents because it was just too isolated from the other rooms.
Plumbing was a bit touchy so not ideal especially for such an updated home.
The location was great being close to power station. Very safe and easy to get around.
The home uses a physical key and not a keypad which was a little annoying to time arrivals.
Overall this place was sufficient and because it was so clean and had a great host I would recommend for the right group size / ages.
